I completely agree with you. I wouldn't play on a server like that at ALL. It's already a common issue with chopper campers. I've railed against how OP the little bird is on here before. Mixed response really. Stingers and AA mine are almost your only real chance to just get a brief break from the madness. Soon as it respawns he's right back at it, what 2 minutes? Uhhg.

Had a former employer that called a meeting around December 1. He said that since so many people take off for Christmas, everyone needed to work extra billable hours to make up for the hours of vacation taken off at the end of the year. If you didn't take your allotted vacation days, you "donated" them back to the company and any unused days expire December 31 every year. Even for those of us with no vacation left, he suggested we pitch in and work extra for those that were taking off.

So he tried to make us work extra billable hours in order just to take the vacation days we earned. That isn't how vacation works.

I learned a lot of what-not-to-dos from them but one of the most significant I think is how not to solve conflicts. There was so much fighting and yelling at my house. I hated it. My boys will never see me lose my cool with their mother. Ever. Aside from unhealthy debate tactics, I don't want them to ever think that its ok to disrespect their mother with yelling and aggressive tone of voice (consequently other women later).

This is gross and oversharing but several years ago I came down with a cold. At the doctor's office I got a shot and prescribed meds. I don't remember the meds exactly but they were meant to help dry out my sinuses. After a few days of meds my mucus was very very thick. Well, one afternoon at work I could tell my sinus was partially clogged so head to the restroom to blow my nose. The end of a snot booger was dangling so I pulled it. I swear to god it felt like it was coming from my toes! I pulled out this long, thick snot slime from my face that was at least 8" long and thick as a spaghetti noodle. It was stretchy like a rubber band, and could stretch to well over a foot long. I stood there amazed at what had just emerged from my face, wadded it up and quickly tossed it. As you said, it was absolutely spine shivering!

I'm not sure if I fall strictly into the "didn't want kids" category. My sentiments were more along the lines of, "I may want kids one day, but right now I can't stand children and I DEFINITELY don't want any right now". I thought as I got older my mind would slowly shift towards having some, it did not. So, the time came where my wife and I needed to make the decision, start a family or never start a family (age). We had been together for 11 years and traveled well and done most of the things we wanted to do. While neither of us were really "ready" for kids, we decided to go for it anyway.

What changed our mind? I think what ultimately pushed me into the "yes" camp was that I felt like it was a way for me to actually contribute something to society and a need to teach or pass on skills, knowledge and wisdom to the next generation. We were more than able to provide a stable home, good education and raise productive adults. I was also really curious what it would be like to look into the eyes of my child and see myself in them. We knew it would be an all-in, 2 decade commitment and would also reduce our retirement horde severely. We knew it would be mentally and physically exhausting. We knew it would strain our own relationship. What we didn't know is just how deep the love of a parent is for their child. All those negative things just seem like no big deal when they come up to you and hug you for no real reason other than to say they love you. Mine are still young enough to do that and they haven't started hating us yet (teenagers) but its coming soon, and I dread it. I hope that one day they not only love us, but appreciate us. I realize that likely won't happen until they decide to have children of their own, it's just the way that works. At the moment, being a parent has easily been my life's toughest challenge. The rewards can not really be accurately described or conveyed in a meaningful enough way. It has been, and always will be the best decision we ever made.

I have 4 favorites. The two I use silenced while playing Recon (93R - 1,500 kills, G18 - 300 kills); and the two I use just for the sound and fun factor (Deagle - 650 kills and the .44 Magnum - 350 kills). They all have their benefits and drawbacks.

If you're asking about how best to play the game as it was intended then no, camping isn't really the best way to experience it. It was designed to be played cooperatively as a part of a squad. That can be achieved playing as Recon but not usually to any great benefit if you're going to sit 300 meters from an objective and camp on your spawn beacon. Since you purchased the game, feel free to play any way you choose but don't be surprised if you don't get much support if you aren't substantially contributing to the strategy or win. If your score is in the bottom 1/3 and you have 8 kills and 3 deaths every round, you aren't contributing enough. Step it up. As Recon, there are a ton of different things you can do to be very valuable. Play with your loadouts, unlock all the gadgets and use them.

Reading that just leaves me with a couple questions.... I wonder which brand of hand lotion is his favorite for the smoothest hands possible? And... Does he get his weekly manicure before or after his cry session at the therapist?

I agree with everything you said there. Using that tactic, Recon is absolutely the way to go. The only difference I would add is that I'm typically doing a lot of stealthy hiding when trying to solo cap that point and my engagements tend to be close quarters. For that reason I typically use a shotgun and claymores. It depends mostly on the map what loadout works best but its rarely a sniper rifle.

One of my high school friends started losing his hair senior year. He has a great personality about it but not a sexy head. He didn't care, shaved off his remaining (otherwise awesome) hair and just went with it. He owned the sexy bald look at 19! He isn't a sexy guy. He wasn't a stellar athlete and didn't have the perfect bod but he owned the hand he was delt. He became a nurse, married a hot nurse way above his "grade". Do not despair, all is not lost because your locks are less full!
